The Chariot Reversed Tarot Card Meaning

General Interpretation

The Chariot appearing reversed in a reading suggests a lack of control, inner conflict or a loss of direction as factors potentially derailing your progress. Whereas the Chariot upright represents determination, grit and forward momentum, in the reversed it points to self-sabotage, obstacles, or external factors beyond your control hindering your progress. You may feel stuck, scattered or pulled between different priorities. The Chariot reversed can also signal power struggles, or a need to pause before continuing to push forward.

The Chariot Reversed Love and Relationships

The Chariot reversed as a single person asking about your love life suggests you may be sending potential suitors mixed signals in dating. You may be uncertain about what you want out of a potential partner and it may make you slippery when it comes to commitment. Step back and clarify your desires before pursuing any more connections.

The Chariot reversed when asking about a new or potential relationship hints that power struggles or clashing goals could be causing strife in this connection. One of you may be wanting to move faster than the other is comfortable with. The Chariot reversed is a gentle reminder that open communication is key if this connection is to survive in the long-term.

Asking about your current relationship, The Chariot reversed suggests that arguments may feel like back-and-forth power struggles rather than opportunities to clear the air, with neither of you willing to concede. Compromise is essential in any healthy long-term relationship, and further resistance will only create more distance between the two of you.

Getting The Chariot reversed when asking about an ex hints that this person may resurface, but is a warning about the same unresolved conflicts. You’re being asked to pause and reflect if reconnecting with this person is truly in your best interest, as getting back together could lead to another deadlock and endless power struggle.

Getting The Chariot reversed when asking about your crush suggests one or both of you may be sending out mixed signals and behaviorally acting hot-and-cold. This may be stalling any progress between you two. If this person is acting inconsistently, The Chariot reversed suggests not to chase. Focus on meeting someone who can meet you halfway.

Asking about your child, The Chariot reversed suggests they may be acting out of frustration or feeling pulled in different directions.

Provide your child reassurance and structure to help them regain a sense of control and stability.

Getting The Chariot reversed when asking about your current friend suggests this friendship may feel one-sided to one or both of you. There may be a lot of unresolved tension and resentment, with neither of you willing to fix or work on the issues. If efforts to repair the fractures go nowhere, take it as a sign that it’s time to let the connection drift away.

Asking about your former friend, The Chariot reversed suggests trying to reconnect may reignite former conflicts. Whatever it was that led to you two falling out, has yet to be resolved and is simmering under the surface. It’s time to step back and ask: have either of you truly done the inner work needed to change and make it work this time? If not, history may just repeat itself.

Getting The Chariot reversed when asking about an enemy suggests this person may be trying to trigger you into endless conflict.

Don’t let this person steer you away from where you’re going.

Getting The Chariot reversed when asking about a potential business idea hints that timing may be off with this launch.
